We (me, wife and 5 year old son) were looking forward to see the apartment. Our expectations were positively surpassed after arriving in an authentic part of Bangkok. Joe his sister welcomed us after the taxi dropped us. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. Good WiFi too. The communications with Joe and his family are proper and they are very helpful and generous. The area is relaxing and easy transport (taxi mainly) to anywhere in Bangkok. When going back to Bangkok we definitely go back to Joe's apartment again if possible. We loved to sit outside and relax at the waterfront, watch the fishes, locals and boats passing by. Only downside which we cannot blame Joe for is the sound/speed of the water taxi's and mosquitoes after sundown... In general; we loved the place!
